Fisherman’s Wharf (downtown at water’s edge) used to be a big attraction and go to spot years ago. I don’t even know if it was still in operation before the pandemic.

I haven’t been in years.
Last time I went (1990’s) my group wanted to stop by
The Christmas Shop. Open year around. That’s probably gone.

The Christmas Shop.

My Dad used to love that place.

He collected Christmas ornaments.

There was also a similar one in Napa Valley is my memory. Near Napa.

We’re talking the 1970s.

My wife and I visited several times in the late 80's/early 90's when she had relatives in Oakland. We loved it. It was like we were walking through the movie Vertigo. Rode the cable cars, too. Neither of us have the slightest urge to ever set foot there again.
